Reimagining the Canon exhibition catalogue
A gender inspired lens frames this inaugural exhibition that celebrates women artists’ contribution to art and exhibition practices. Curated by Dr Annemarie Murland, the exhibition represents mid-career and established artists from major and regional cities around Australia, England, Ireland, and Scotland. A fierce belief in making ‘good art’ is the common thread that unites them. Through a process of praxis and collaboration between artist and curator, alongside a great deal of satire and metaphor, the artists contemplated how they might re-inscribe the ‘master narratives’ of Western Art’s History with their own stories.
